My Glass Heart

My Glass Heart

 

Trying to keep it clean and spotless

Just isn’t possible in the world we live.

Developing stains and distress

Though it gives and gives.

 

Longing to shine

In the dark.

Hoping to find

Love for my glass heart.

 

Because it’s see-through,

It’s hard to hide

What I feel true…

All I feel deep inside

 

Fragile and lowly,

Yet, entrusted to someone to be a part.

And their love I keep

In my glass heart.

 

Breakable, it shatters,

Yet, love, it still contains.

To me, it still matters,

Even in midst of the ache.

 

Though it hurts,

May I leave it open through the dark…

Letting my love-light burn

In my glass heart.

You are right dear Melinda.
"Though it hurts,
May I leave it open through the dark…
Letting my love-light burn
In my glass heart."
The above lines are true. Glass or not. Must keep love and hope alive. Thank you for sharing your amazing poetry.
